About Westervelt Land Company

Westervelt Land Company provides long term land solutions to its clients by using innovative approaches and experience to ensure a successful outcome for every project we undertake.

From the Coastal Regions to the Midwest, WLC strategically acquires property that represents a multitude of opportunities ranging from future development to recreational enjoyment.

As part of a company with over 125 years of land ownership, we pride ourselves on understanding the land and recognizing its capabilities. Our focus and motivation is long-term benefits; we select the most appropriate solutions rather than the most expedient.

Environmental Policy

The Westervelt Company, a land resource organization, subscribes to Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) practices. Our timber-management practices include: streamside-management zones to improve water quality, immediate replanting to ensure a sustainable forest, continual forest management, and wildlife enhancement with on-staff biologists.

The Westervelt Company plants millions of trees each year, harvests only in small compartments, and is the only major industrial landowner to be recognized by the Alabama Forestry Commission for pioneering forest management techniques, wildlife enrichment efforts, and conservation practices.

We are committed to:

• Minimizing the greenhouse gas emissions from our business operations.
• Protecting and enhancing watershed quality on company owned, leased, or managed lands and reducing our water usage where possible.
• Improving habitat quality wherever we operate.
• Managing our renewable resources in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner.
• Improving the efficiency of our energy consumption.
• Seeking ways to use renewable energy sources.
• Working with our government and regulatory agencies, customers, suppliers, and associates to mutually improve our environment.

The Westervelt Company is committed to its conservation mission. We follow best management practices in all of our business endeavors, with a mission to preserve land for future generations.

We ensure our commitments exceed environmental, legal, and regulatory requirements, and robustly pursue new practices to help support our environmental policy.
